Bri's relationship with her fiancé and the challenges of sharing a work-from-home lifestyle with a neurotypical fiance, after 17 years of entrepreneurship prompted her to question her brain’s functioning.
This led her to "Scattered Minds" by Gabor Maté, which illuminated her experiences and led to a deeper understanding of her unique cognitive processes.
